Also, in the penultimate episode, the quote opening the show is, "Deserve's got nothing to do with it." Unless I am mistaken, that is word for word the exact same thing Will Munny tells Little Bill right before discharging the contents of his shotgun into Bill's face. I can't decide if that was a coincidence or someone paying homage to Clint Eastwood (perhaps from Wire writer Dennis Lehane, whose novel Mystic River was the basis for the great Eastwood-directed film of the same name).

Wired
I've been working my way through The Wire this summer, usually between the hours of 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. It's great (quite an original reaction, I know), but I think it would have been better without two conspicuous though tangential elements: the quote at the beginning of each show, and the montage at the end of each season.
